On Dal Lake in Srinagar, this houseboat sits amid mirror-like waters and mountain views. It's about 3 km from the city center and roughly 15 km from Srinagar Airport. Nearby sights include Ghat 17, Heemal Park and Shankaracharya Reserved Forest.

Live the houseboat life: the entire structure is yours, with a sunbathing deck atop and warmly decorated, luxurious furnished rooms. Rooms vary by category and typically include a TV and an attached bath with running hot and cold water. The stay feels secluded, peaceful and close to nature.

Stand-out amenities include 24-hour room service and attendants, laundry, a standby power generator and a parking zone for car travelers. Tour assistance and air ticket reservations are available, plus day-excursion and sightseeing arrangements. On-water activities offered include boat rides, canal cruises, water trekking, water skiing, trout fishing and trekking.

Meals are cooked in kitchen boats and brought across to be served aboard your houseboat. Dine on the deck while watching lake-mirror mornings and mountain reflections.
